"10 days before anticipated, --compared to the migrations of
1998 -1999, the Monarch butterblies crossed the Mexican border.
Today, in the afternoon, I received a call from Ciudad Acuna Coahuila
wher the participants of "Correo Real" told us that the butterflies
were all over the city. Flying law and looking for places to perch
themselves to spend the night. They counted an average of 8
butterflies flying per minute and 15 forming clusters in the trees to
spend the night. The weather was cool, of 23 grades centigrates (73
grades farenhait)"
